Throughout the past 7 years, Gallery5 is proud to have hosted some of the best local music events in Richmond. Gallery5 would not be where it is without the bands that have graced our stage, and we certainly look forward to what’s in store for the future of our region’s music scene.

On Friday, June 29th we are excited celebrate the music of our city at our summer fundraiser, featuring a projected visual display of the hundreds of musical moments that are etched into our 7 year history. Local bands have also been generous enough to donate their CDs, Shirts, Stickers, and more for a door raffle. Have fun designing your own album cover with a silly photobooth. And summer wouldn’t be complete without a caricature artist. Lastly, you can’t have a local music night without live music. We are proud to present to our stage Classic Monkey Shine, The Greenhearts, and Goldrush!

WHAT: I Play RVA Music–A Celebration of Local Music and Fundraiser For Gallery 5
WHO: Classic Monkey Shine, The Green Hearts, Goldrush
WHERE: Gallery 5, 200 W. Marshall St.
WHEN: Friday, June 29, 8 PM

As you know, Gallery5 is a non-profit arts organization that relies heavily on community support to keep our doors open. Our local music scene is one of the most vibrant in the nation and we thank you for continuing to make Gallery5 a hub for local music. Please mark your calendars for this night of celebrating our region’s creative musical muscles.
